Damn! And here was I all geared up to play some Call of Duty that's COD4, which is all new and better than good, and Sean goes and tags me. Oh well...

To the rules:

Describe my earliest memory where the memory is clear, and where "clear" means I can depict at least three details.

Give an estimate of my age at the time.

Tag five other bloggers with this meme.

My earliest memory is getting told off for getting back in the pool after mum had gotten me ready to go out.

It was a canvas wading pool, set up under the clothesline and the clothesline had an old canvas tarp draped over it to keep the sun off the pool, or more to the point, off the kids that were in it. Mum dragged me out, gave me a right royal bollicking, got me dressed, again, then bundled me into our red and white FC Holden to go wherever it was we went. I was about 2 at the time.

A canvas wading pool is a kids paddling pool. These days they tend to be made out of plastic and the dad has to bust a lung blowing it up on christmas afternoon. But when I was a kid they were made from canvas and had a frame.
